The couple from Exeter have also previously owned The Old Firehouse located on New North Road and still continue to run The Stables in Cowley.

Emma explained: "Five years ago we opened The Stables and that is what we are going to focus on after we close Starz Bar. We are getting older and we want to reduce our workload so we can have more time together.

"We still had another five years on our lease at Starz Bar but we approached the landlord to revoke it and they then decided to not continue with the business.

"Times move on and it was such an emotional decision to make but we just want to thank all out customers and staff who have been there over the years."
